The typical 1960s building housing the baths contains a pool 30.5
metres long and a 'Supachute', which was installed in the late 1980s.
It is the home of Coseley Amateur Swimming Club.

The story of the baths is best described in the following piece
which was written by Councillor J. T. Wilson for the Silver Jubilee of
the Baths in November 1988, and appeared in the Inter Club Gala
programme:

"The project of building Coseley
Swimming Pool first began during 1959/60 when Councillor Wilson was
Chairman of Coseley Urban District Council and was, by resolution of
the Council, given full authority to bring into being a Swimming Pool
in Coseley.

A number of possible sites were identified but proved unsuitable
because of mining operations previously carried out in the area.
Eventually the present site in Peartree Lane was chosen.

Councillor Wilson himself paid visits to other local authority
swimming pools. A number of plans were then submitted and an artist's
impression of the recommended scheme was taken to the Council and
agreed. Tragedy overtook the project as both principal architects were
killed in separate accidents. Mr. Tom Elwell came in as Principal
Project Architect and was assisted by a young architect by the name of
Cedric Roberts. Tenders were invited and that of Messrs. Wilson Lovatt
at a figure of £252,000 was successful. Test borings carried out
before work commenced did not reveal the presence of an unknown mine
shaft which, when it was discovered, required extra strengthening work
at an additional cost of £20,000.

The foundation stone was laid by Councillor Wilson on 25th August,
1962. Construction was delayed during the early months of 1963 when the
country experienced the worst winter weather for many years. Councillor
Wilson had need to take up with the local M.P. and the Treasury the
fact that H.M. Customs and Excise were demanding purchase tax on the
diving boards and stands. Eventually the demand was dropped and the
money saved was used to lay a sapele floor in the Cafe. Some 25 miles
of steel bars were required to be woven into a pattern to support the
platform to carry the pool tank which holds 800 tons of water.

There was some controversy over the sculpture to be placed over the
front entrance but a design was finally agreed and can be seen in place
today. Eventually what had been a massive undertaking by a small
authority was completed and the then Chairman of the Council,
Councillor John Pointon, officially opened the Pool on 30th November,
1963."
